Signs of Spring
It's been halting, but signs of spring are popping up around our home and yard. Of course, I had to make a new banner for my wreath, and a matching one for the mantle.
I also decided I needed something extra for the couch. I made a this fun pillow cover, inspired by Corey's pillow. I used my finished edge for the circles.
I was excited to discover the previous home owner planted some bulbs in the front yard!
I wanted to bring a little of the feeling of outdoors in. So with some of the left over crepe paper from our rainbows and my hot glue gun, I added some little flowers to the branches in my vase (also on the mantle).
My poor camera struggled to get a good photo of the mantle, but here it is:
Hoping this weekend is filled with the promise of spring where you live.

It does look like spring! We're having snow today. I hope spring shows up to stay soon. I love your wreath, it always SO cute!
the tree branches are so light and airy! spring is here, yay!
Oh my, someone has been busy. What a beatiful job. :)
The wreath is so sweet! Here nobody hangs wreaths on their door except for christmas time. I wish it didn't look weird if I made one for my door!
The circle pillow is so original. I love it!
Loving spring's promise at your home.
The yellow tissue paper on your branches is perfect. I think I love yellow most in the spring.
Sometimes it is the little things. The branches look like forsythia and they really light up that space.
